I grew up in Eastern North Dakota, and went to college at UND. I am currently teaching as a special education resource teacher in Minneapolis. I am married to a great second husband, who puts up with so much. I have one married son who is struggling to make a living in Minneapolis. He and his wife have 2 sons, ages 2 and 3, which is totally insanity, but also so much fun. I also have a newly married stepdaughter, who with her husband, is the proud 'parent' of a new puppy, 2 or 3 cats, a hamster, a college roommate still living in the spare room, and who knows what else they acquired in the last month.

I began thinking about blogging while e-mailing parenting advice to my daughter-in-law. Isn't that the typical Grandma/Mother-in-law? She graciously thanks me for all advice, but is also free to disregard anything I say.

I am also the lucky daughter of a very plucky and determined 96 year old mother.

My day at the museum turned out to be a wild day. We discovered the water play room. The 2 year old slipped and cut the bridge of his nose. Mom and Dad took him to the ER for stitches, leaving the 3 year old with Grandma and Grandpa at the museum. By the time I got home, I was ready for a nap. We were up and down stairs, plus I was terrified of losing the boy in the crowd, so I spent a lot of time on my feet keeping up with him. We left Grampa in the snack room with the bag of cookies, fruit snacks, and animal crackers that I got in the machine.
